Reading The Coast today, I found out about a project in the works for the city, the Halifax Urban Greenway. It's a proposal to create a walking/cycling trail around the whole of the peninsula, following the existing CN railway cut.
I went to the project's website and found out all kinds of info on the proposal. The first phase, around the south end of Halifax, has finally been funded by the province, and work will begin on it this year. No word yet on when the rest of the project might go ahead, but I very much hope it will. The second phase would link Chebucto Road and the Northwest Arm (right outside my door, basically) with the university campuses.
Needless to say, having access to a quiet, green walking/cycle path to get to work each day would be heaven.
